As we age, we have lower levels of nitric oxide (NO), leading to endothelial dysfunction , arterial stiffening, and a rise in blood pressure (hypertension) — three of the primary causes of cardiovascular disease. Some studies have shown the potential of NR in particular to reduce blood pressure and arterial stiffness.

It is a physiological adaptation helping athletes perform physical tasks better than non-athletes. During aerobic exercise which is isotonic, the heart rate and stroke volume increases. Systemic vascular resistance falls, but slight to moderate increase in blood pressure can occur due to the increased cardiac output.
